Quiz #4 – California Vehicle Code, Equipment of Vehicles

Hint

You may not sell any vehicle manufactured after January 1, 1968 unless it is equipped with seat belts for each seating position

Hint

California’s Vehicle Code requires that you do not sell or offer for sale, a vehicle unless all of its safety equipment is in proper working condition.

It does not matter if you tell the Buyer about the safety defects – this requirement cannot be waived by a Dealer or Buyer.

The Code does not apply when the Vehicle:

• Is sold to another Dealer
• Is being legally wrecked, dismantled
• Used exclusively off-highway
• Is a leased, registered in California and sold to the person leasing it (if they were in possession of the vehicle immediately prior to the sale)

Hint

• The windshield’s condition must not impair the driver’s vision
• The windshield defrosting device and windshield wipers must be in good operating condition
• Sunglasses won’t help – you’ll still need a windshield
